Where in the world has Phil the Ram been? You may have noticed that the University’s loveably tough mascot hasn’t been on the sidelines or in the gyms for a good long while. Well, that’s come to an end!

Today – at a pep rally for the playoffs-bound Rams’ women’s and men’s basketball teams – Phil re-emerged from what’s been a challenging few months for our beloved horned sheep.

In this episode of the Nexus Podcast, we’ve been greenlit to share the true story (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) of how all that enthusiasm nearly came to an end over on the Ronson sledding hill.

Phil learned that lesson the hard way but the challenging predicament leading to his return also reaffirms his love for a University’s collaborative spirit as his “extended family” came together in his time of deepest need, instilling in him with the strength, confidence and bionic horn that will help Phil celebrate Jefferson’s bicentennial year and lead it into its third century.
